Giorgio N Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've built a Swiss 109G myself using those Italeri decals on a Hobbyboss kit, let me know if you need any information on these ! During my build I got some good information about these aircrafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Since I have a few days off I gave it a start,now I am not an interior person just go with what the kit offers but this kit offers a seat! it glues into the fuselage and thats it,so a little bit of not so accurate detail, floor,stick.instrument panel,pedals were added when painted it should look busy.Also something I have never seen before someone at the factory has signed it!obviously takes pride in his work, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Giorgio,I have long lost the Italeri instructions so the net is my only point of reference. Drop me a PM, I can send you a scan of the instructions ! I also have a couple of books and magazines, will dig through and find the most important information.

snapper_city Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 wow, signed copy of a kit! If this is a signed kit surely that increases it's value. Are you sure you paid less than a tenner??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwaterous Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That kit cockpit looks about the same as the 1:48 revell version I'm buiding for this (its a G-10 but...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is just a seat supplied, the ribbing is evergreen strip the floor is off an airfix spitfire MK9 the instrument panel as the unused retracted wheel and the rest just scrap plastic once painted and detailed it will look busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well after my jumping the gun on Wednesday here,s the painted interior as anyone who has built this kit knows there is no detail at all in the cockpit other than the seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I like the Airfix 109G, not that I have built mine, but I have drooled over the kit itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Here,s the last few days progress on this one.for some reason I thought this aircraft wore the red/white I.D. bands that the Swiss used for a time but thanks to fellow member Giorgio who supplied me with the instructions and and some great photo,s it wore a subdued scheme but still a bit different from the norm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well, the large red bands will help a bit in breaking the usual grey scheme... Only glad to help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Nice clean construction and a nice solid base for the paint.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Happy with the progress over the last three days,here it is glossed and decaled apart from the codes.I had to cut white decal strips and cover the originals as they were so thin they looked pink!and since the photo I have re-done the tail cross,As a brush painter I avoid mottle finishes like the plague but by the time it,s weathered and matt coated should be OK for the scale.Thanks for looking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I'd say the mottle effect is pretty good, had you not mentioned it was done with a brush I'd have thought it was airbrushed ! Pity about the decals. When I used the same decals I had none of these problems, wonder if Italeri moved to a different decal supplier in the meantime Edited February 5, 2014 by Giorgio N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Calling this one done folks,only thing that I am disappointed with was the fuselage crosses which I ham fisted touched up but a nice easy build. going into the gallery now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
